2014 Dai-X Action Figure
Well, as it happens, I will be on my travels again in a couple of months and will be in Tokyo a couple of weeks after this is released. Time and opportunity permitting, we'll have to see...

Dr. Benn or Dr. Ben?
Except in Japan, where family names are often given first... (not sure how it works for doctors, though!) Could have been a cross-cultural mix-up...

Which is a neat trick in itself, considering that as far as anyone knows, Jupiter doesn't have a solid surface (except perhaps right at the core, but if you're that far into its atmosphere you'll have other worries, like being about a micron thick... Reminds me a little of a "Battle of the Plan...

Crash beat me to it by suggesting its a possible astronomical reference; theres a bit of a tradition in anime of mixing up astronomical terms (galaxy for solar system etc) - 70s/80s Leeji Matsumoto originating series like "Captain Harlock" are especially good/bad at that.

An X-Bomber model kit? Maybe.

Twenty years ago that would have been such an easy one to solve...!

Terrahawks behind the scenes Model phots designs
Well, each to his own I guess - I don't know how old that interview is, possibly they were influenced by designs around at the time they were making "Terrahawks" or when they were interviewed. Like everything, theres good and bad mecha design...
